Hi,

I am using the DrawString method to add 2 strings to a label at right-angles
to each other (so one is horizontal, and the other string is vertical)

Both strings start with 'S' - now, is there any way to make that 'S'
diagnoal instead of vertical ? That way it would really appearf as though
it's between both strings...

thanks

Philip
 
You need to draw the S seperately in another call to DrawString and use a
transform to change the angle of the string. See the GDI+ FAQ for an article
on how to draw text at an angle.
